This is my first Jeep, purchased in 2007
with 142,000 miles on it. I plan on using
it for mild trails only as it has a D35
and is my daily driver. It needed lots of
TLC, and I've already put more money into
it than I paid for it. But working on the
Jeep keeps me out of trouble...most of the
time.

Thanks for the heads up! My Jeep
isn't exactly the quietest thing
in the world so I'll probably just
leave it on all the time
especially if it had lights. I got
to figure out if the bumper or the
roof rack comes first this
summer...but that's all after the
new shocks, quick discos, etc. You
know how this Jeep stuff goes.

I thought the clunk coulda had
something to do with the
transmission but when it started
clunking when I was cornering,
slowing down, or hitting bumps I
figured it had something to do
with the suspension. Plus I'm
gettin the same clunk, rarely, up
front so I think was just the
bushings in the UCA's all around.
It happens a lot less often now so
I'm not all that concerned. I
really need to get my steering
figured out though, I've replaced
pretty much everything from the
pitman arm down that would have
any effect on steering, so maybe
I'll have some luck with a
steering box and shaft
swap...we'll see.

BTW, what kind of aux lights are
those on your front bumper?
Any suggestions for a brand?

Thanks for gettin back to me, I'm
really set on that rack once I get
the rest of my steering/suspension
squared away. I want to get four
aux lights for it, two front two
back, but that's off in the
future.

I'm still tryin to track that
annoying clunk down in the
rearend. I replaced the TB, SB,
and UCA bushings and still I get
the clunk except less often now.
I'm almost thinkin I had two
clunks and when I replaced the
upper CA bushings it got rid of
one of them but left the other.

I did however go wheelin last
Saturday and for the whole
weekend...no clunk. But as I
figured it was back the next
Monday mornin so I guess it's off
to the next could be culprit.

i know what your talking about
when you say tired..... its not
fun keeping it up to speed around
65 or so.... You dont wanna push
the gas way down and lose all the
gas in your tank. Even with the V8
its still not like it was stock!
But its a hell of a lot better
than my old jeep with the I6 and
3.07's! haha
